Just had my 2nd attempt at setting up and web page, its part of a motorcycle web site, any way onto the problem.<br />
<br />
When viewed in 800*600 everything is fine and central but view with any other setting its off center, is it possible to centralise the screen what ever setting you use?<br />
<br />
TIA<br />
Chalky<!--content-->align your highest level table with align="center"<!--content-->When I set up the page I did a select all and pressed the justify center and everything lined up in 800*600 is this what you are talking about?<!--content-->i code everything in notepad so i cant help you with regards to using any editor <br />
<br />
sorry
<!--content-->In that case could you give me the line of code I would expect to see if I had done it correctly?<br />
<br />
If not thanks for your help anyway.<!--content-->If you go into the code itself, look for the first <table> tag you come to and add the align="center" attribute inside this tag:<br />
<br />
<table align="center"><br />
<br />
Just out of interest, what editor are you using? Even if you produce all your pages using an editor, it is always worth learning the basics of HTML to overcome little problems like this. Why not have a go?

The Easisest way around round resolution differences is to put things in tables 100% width of the screen and centre align stuff within that or make it a percentage within the table, ie two columns 50% width each of the table there in <br />

By the way this was my 1st attempt <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://homepage.ntlworld.com/whitem/">http://homepage.ntlworld.com/whitem/</a><!-- m --> cheesy isnt it. I'm now involved in tidying up the bike site so am coming across things i never noticed before.<!--content-->The Easisest way around round resolution differences is to put things in tables 100% width of the screen and centre align stuff within that or make it a percentage within the table, ie two columns 50% width each of the table there in <br />
<br />
it is true that this gets round this - this is known as a liquid layout<br />
using a set number of pixels is called fixed layout<br />
<br />
i prefer using fixed layouts though for my websites <br />
the problem with liquid is that certain things look terrible when in liquid layout - for example - text in the centre column looks ok on 800 resolution but looks terrible on a 1040+ resolution or whatever<br />
<br />
i suppose it comes down to personal opinions<!--content-->If you view this page <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.foc-u.co.uk/tackle/tackle.htm">http://www.foc-u.co.uk/tackle/tackle.htm</a><!-- m --> in 800*600 it looks fine, I assume you are using 1024*768 and it must look ****e, what would you suggest, I would like it to look good in any reolution.<!--content-->nah - your site uses a fixed layout so its the same<br />
<br />
i would lose the bike image as a background though - it just confuses matters<!--content-->Thanks Goldilocks, just uploaded the htm and it works a treat.<br />
<br />
When I created this I edited each table, picture one at a time is there a easy way to edit all field in one go?<br />

<br />
Whay not add alt="some text" to all images, alt="" is fine on all spacer gifs, and unimportant images, and add type="text/javascript" to all script tags.<br />

This line is invalid. Why is there a table started in this line, inside the <TD></TD>, but not ended before the </TD>?<br />
